Radiohead’s New Album Drops This Week

The British rockers will release The King of Limbs online this Saturday.

After teasing info about their next record for months, Radiohead have finally unveiled details of the LP. It will be titled The King of Limbs and will be available for download starting Saturday, February 19, the band announced on the official site for the album.

The King of Limbs will be available in two formats: a deluxe physical format and download for $48 and an instant download for $9. The digital version will be available on Saturday, while the physical version will ship on May 9.

Radiohead are dubbing the LP “the world’s first Newspaper Album” and the deluxe version comes with two 10-inch vinyl albums, one CD, “many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork, and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.”
